This video shows shows the rapid growth and 'flowering' of the inflorescence of Titan arum (commonly known as the corpse plant) at the UC Botanical garden in Berkeley in June of 2009. Affectionately called 'Trudy' by the garden staff, this plant grew at an average of 2-3 inches per day for about a week until the spathe (the dark purple 'skirt' of the plant) started opening on June 23, 2009. This video has been submitted to the plant video competition at www.ChloroFilms.org
@UnfoldingWings No you don't, trust me, I had amorphophallus konjac to bloom in january and it was very nasty.

I just bought one of these, if you're interested go to tindaraorchids com they sell them in different sizes. You should have at least 1or 2 years experience with growing tropicals before you buy one though as this one is very hard to grow.

Trudy is so elegant. And, a real drama queen.
